Radiantly Redeemed- Tall dresser painted in ASCP Old white over a previous blue paint. Distressed to bring out a little of the blue, then used AS dark wax. New hardware as well. Solid wood. Phenomenal piece!

"Blessings" (Song by Laura Story). I love the words of this song. Its a great message. However, this is not a quote from anywhere in Thessalonians.

Live the Laura Story song!

Great song--Blessings by Laura Story

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

E F# G#m F#
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
B E F# G#m
All the while, You hear each spoken need
C#m B F#
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things
Chorus
B
(Cause) what if your blessings come through raindrops
F#
What if Your healing comes through tears
G#m F# E
What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
C#m B E (C#m - B - F# - E - F# - D#m)
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
Verse 2
E F# G#m
We pray for wisdom
E F# D#m
Your voice to hear
E F# G#m A E
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
E F# G#m
We doubt your goodness
E F# D#m
we doubt your love
E F# G#m F#
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
B E F# G#m
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
C#m B F#
And long that we'd have faith to believe
[Chorus]
Bridge
E F#
When friends betray us
G#m A
When darkness seems to win we know
E F# G#m F#
the pain reminds this heart That this is not
C#m - B - F# - E - F# - D#m
this is not our home
B - F# - G#m - E - E- F#
it's not our home
Chorus 2
B
(Cause) what if your blessings come through raindrops
F#
What if Your healing comes through tears
G#m F# E
What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
B
What if my greatest disappointments
F#
Or the aching of this life
G#m F# E
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
C#m B E F# E
What if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights
(E)
Are your mercies in disguise

Prayer of the Woods. Love it, for the tree hugger in me.

'Prayer of the Woods.' Location, photographer, painter and writer of the text not specified by the poster. // Additional info: A reference to this text is posted at a site maintained by farming education organization, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, North Carolina, U.S.: http://www.ncsu.edu/project/treesofstrength/poems.htm. Details on origin not verified, but if you're just interested in a clearer view of the text, here it is: 'Prayer of the Woods' - I am the heat of your hearth on the cold winter nights, the friendly shade screening you from the summer sun, and my fruits are refreshing draughts quenching your thirst as you journey on. / I am the beam that holds your house, the board of your table, the bed on which you lie, and the timber that builds your boat. / I am the handle of your hoe, the door of your homestead, the wood of your cradle, and the shell of your coffin. / I am the bread of kindness and the flower of beauty. Ye who pass by, listen to my prayer: Harm me not. / (This prayer has been used in Portuguese forest preservations for more than 1,000 years.) // Found by @RandomMagicTour (https://twitter.com/randommagictour) - Sasha Soren

Pillow Mattress. The total cost for pillows and pillowcases is about $25. You get the cheapest pillows and cases you can find. If you want the bed really poofy, cut the pillow cases down to fit more snugly around the pillows. The result is a very poofy, soft pillow bed that any little boy or girl would love!
